Pilea Care Guide

Pilea plants are a delight to grow, with their unique, coin-shaped leaves and easy-going nature. Let's dive into the world of Pilea and explore how to keep these plants happy and thriving.

------------------------------------

FLOWERS:
Pilea plants produce small, greenish-white flowers that are relatively inconspicuous. While they're not the main attraction, they do add a touch of charm to the plant. Pilea plants are primarily grown for their stunning foliage, rather than their flowers.

------------------------------------

WATERING:
When it comes to watering Pilea plants, it's essential to strike a balance. These plants prefer moist soil but can't tolerate standing water. Water your Pilea plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure the pot has good drainage holes to prevent root rot.

------------------------------------

LIGHT REQUREMENTS:
Pilea plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so a spot with filtered sunlight is ideal. East- or west-facing windows are perfect for Pilea plants. If you're growing your Pilea plant outdoors, choose a spot with partial shade, especially in warmer climates. They can't live in less than 10°C/50°F

------------------------------------

PROPAGATION:
Pilea plants can be propagated through stem cuttings or division. Take 3-4 inch stem cuttings, remove lower leaves, and plant them in a pot of moist soil. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm until roots develop. Division involves separating the roots and potting up the separated sections.
